I always here people say to take a picture and to use Microsoft Paint to draw lines so you can get a better idea of how close they are to correct...

well why not just measure the 2 with an angle finder?

The idea behind taking a picture and adding lines to it is to see if the two are parallel. You will be unable to mount an angle finder on the track bar to measure it correctly because of it's shape. I suppose you can rig something up but its just easier to see if they look parallel to each other.

I'm not an expert on this so I'm sure someone will chime in with greater knowledge.
